CONTEXT : ALI NIMR SPENT 4 YEARS IN JAIL ARRESTED BECAUSE OF PROTEST AGAINST THE REGIME IN SAUDI ARABIA-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saudi Arabia is preparing to behead and crucify the young Ali Al-Nimr particularly alarming in a context and make it an example. The country has executed more than 134 people since the beginning of the year. In parallel, Saudi Arabia has just been appointed head of an advisory group that provides expert for the Council of the United Nations Human Rights. "Saudi Arabia can not claim to be part of influential actors of human rights internationally while floating the most basic of human rights in his country," exclaimed Raphael Cheryl-Hazan of the association "EPCM : Together Against the Death Penalty. " Ali Mohammed Al-Nimr was arrested in 2012, at the age of 17, during a manifestation of opposition to the regime in the Shiite region of Qatif. He is accused of belonging to a terrorist organisation. This young Shiite, nephew Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr, one of the staunchest opponents of the Saudi regime, was sentenced last year to death by beheading. His appeal was rejected in recent days, it can now be executed at any time.

THE LUCKY TIMING TO BAD LUCK OF ALI NIMR COULD COINCIDE WITH FESTIVAL EID EL KEBIR WHERE TRADITION OF SOVEREIGN PARDON IS GIVEN TO SOME PRISONERS------------------------------------------------------- Saudi Arabia also reminds those who challenge them on human rights, that it is an independent country and that it does not tolerate any interference in its internal affairs.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Saudi Arabia has reason to say that it is an independent country. Admittedly, this is a rich and sovereign kingdom, which is the most holy place of pilgrimage for Muslims worldwide. But being given the character of the context of this young man sentenced to death, the appeal clemency if validated, by not signing the Royal order, would enhance the image of the Kingdom, rather than the reverse firmness.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is hoped that the accidental death of 717 pilgrims dead even today in Mina, in this period of festival of Eid, will bring sweetness and clemency to the King of Saudi as much blood has flowed sufficiently by the tragedy of the hajj. As for the tradition of rulers and heads of state to pardon prisoners, as was the case in other neighbouring countries, this could save the lives of the young Ali Nimr in the name of this holy feast of Eid el Kebir. This gesture of mercy "Rahma" in English, while this sacred festival could save this young man Ali Nimr, but would also honour Saudi Arabia King Salman bin Abdulaziz by a noble gesture and even so attached to the genuine principles of Islam. ---------------------------------------------See also article : MUSLIMS OF FRANCE CELEBRATE THE AID EL KEBIR ON THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 24 THEY ARE 6 MILLION IN FRANCE - See more at: http://www.uspa24.com/bericht-5447/muslims-of-france-celebrate-the-aid-el-kebir-on-thursday-september-24.html#sthash.D19mt1tZ.dpuf---------------SOURCE: AFP, UN and with Agencies
